Tuti Fruti bag gets a new owner children discover how wonderful felt is...

Well my lovely makers and creators and generally lovely people... I simply could not wait another day to share this latest post with you.

Pictured above is the adorable little lady that visited the boutique with her parents today, the little lady fell in love with the Tuti Fruit children's felt bag.  Whilst they were in the shop lots of other felt items were being tried and tested and went away with not only the bag but a brooch now attached to the bag pictured above and a hair slide.

Thank yo to the lovely parents who allowed me to captured this new relationship with felt.

Hello lovely makers creators and generally lovely people... today I want to share with you the exciting journey of one of my fantastic felt-making ladies.

Pictured above is the stunning work of Gina otherwise known as Felt by Gina, Gina and I met when she booked onto a beginners bag course and I have to say we had such a great day.  Gina was new to felt-making and was also a new mum for the second time but still managed to find time to do something for herself... something I feel that is important for us all to do especially with our busy lives.

Gina fell in love with felt and as a result booked on a further 2 courses to gain a further insight to felt.  From there in a very short time, Gina has been able to develop her felting and her fabulous style to create stunning one of pieces which see sells in her Etsy store, go take a look its a feast for the eyes.

Why not pop over to Gina's blog and read first hand Gina's experience not only of her felt-making days but of her felt-making journey.

Tigerlily Makes gets its Business Portrait Professionally Shot!!

Morning everyone, well I am very excited to share with you a recent extremely positive experience I was fortunate to have when Sara Moseley from Sara Moseley Photography took time out of her busy schedule to provide me with some photo's for Tigerlily Makes Business Portrait.  

If you are even the slightest little bit like me?  You might not find it easy to put in front of the camera, I have to say that I am typically one of these people that as soon as the camera is on I freeze!!  Therefore I rarely take a good photo, no I really don't. There are those that no matter what they are doing they just seem to take a great photo... I sadly am not one of those people, so you can imagine my delight when i received these wonderfully shot pictures by Sara.

I have to say that immediately Sara puts you at easy and by the time the shoot was over I completely forgot that the camera was on as Sara made me feel so relaxed and natural. From start to finish Sara was the consummate professional explaining to me how the shoot would work, whilst at the same time remain so very personable and making me feel at ease.

I am so thrilled with the way they have turned out I might actually be brave and have one up at home... well it would be rude not too!! Lol.

That said I can't praise Sara highly enough and her talents don't stop there, Sara specializes in all sorts of photography.

Fabulous first time Hottie Covers!!!

Chris & Verity on a recent Tigerlily Makes course

Morning lovely makers and creators, well today I am featuring the lovely Chris and Verity a mum and daughter team who attended a recent felt course together.  They both decided to make hot water bottle covers and what fantastic results, Verity is a textile student in Bath and is loving every aspect of her degree. Verity has been practicing all sorts of textile techniques and mediums and loves embroidery and now felt... so I am sure we will see the two mediums being brought to life very soon.
